Laban and Nephi Redirection for Inquisitivesoul

[Finrock]

Good evening Inquisitivesoul. It is a pleasure to meet you and welcome to the forums! :)

The thread you started about Laban and Nephi was locked, however, I wanted to direct you to another part of this forum where a Jew who we know as thekabalist, has been sharing his insights as he reads the Book of Mormon for the first time. He provides an explanation of the events in question from a Jewish perspective. You should understand that thekabalist is a scholar in ancient Judaism and Jewish scriptures. In fact, he is a Rabbi. His insights have been very helpful and I believe you will find them helpful as well.

As a side note, I wanted to comment that for me Nephi is one of my greatest heroes and examples of what being a true disciple of Christ is like. I could not and would not feel this way if I felt Nephi was a murderer or evil. Of course you will need to discover this for yourself but I would encourage you to continue to keep an open mind and heart as you read and perhaps thekabalist's comments can help you to understand what you may not understand at the moment.

Here is the link to his commentary: 1 Nephi Chapter 4

If you want to read his commentary starting from the beginning of the Book of Mormon go here.

Regards,

Finrock
